The potential effect of a typhoon track on the extent of damage makes the track a critical factor during the emergency response phase. Historical typhoon data may provide information for decision makers to anticipate the impact of an upcoming typhoon and develop prevention strategies to reduce the damage. In our preliminary work, we proposed a track similarity algorithm and implemented a real-time search engine for past typhoon events. However, the proposed algorithm was not discussed thoroughly in the preliminary work, and the great number of historical typhoon track records slowed down the similarity calculations. In addition, the tool did not feature the option of automatically importing upcoming typhoon track predictions. This research introduces the assumption of the recentness dominance principle (RDP), explores the details of the track similarity algorithm of the preliminary work, completes the discussion of parameter setting, and developed a method to improve the efficiency of the similarity calculation. In this research, we implemented the proposed advanced methodology by developing a new information display panel featuring the ability to auto-import forecast data. The results of this study provide decision makers and the public with a concise and handy search engine for searching similar historical typhoon records.

East Asian synoptic climatology linked to Atlantic multidecadal variability.
J Environ Manage

Research Center for Environmental Changes, Academia Sinica, Taipei, Taiwan.
Article Synopsis
- The Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO) is a climate pattern that can help predict changes in weather systems globally, particularly in East Asia.
- The study analyzed data from 1941 to 2021 to see how AMO impacts the winter cold surges and late summer typhoons, finding that these weather events change in frequency depending on the AMO phase.
- Results showed that during a negative AMO phase, cold surges saw an increase while blocking surges decreased, and that the southward shift of the westerly jet stream correlated with more frequent typhoons in late summer, indicating the potential for reliable long-term climate predictions in East Asia.
The response characteristics and stability evaluation of vegetated slope under strong wind.

Department of Civil Engineering, Chengdu Technological Universitv (Yibin Campus), Yibin, 644000, People's Republic of China.
As one of the major geological disasters in southeastern China, typhoon-induced vegetation slope instability causes significant loss of life and property each year. Despite the criticality of this issue, the response mechanism of vegetated slopes to wind loading in terms of soil deformation and stability still remains unclear. This research conducted field investigations on 330 historical landslides in Yongjia County, Zhejiang Province, analyzing their spatiotemporal distribution and developmental characteristics to establish a conceptual model.

Background: In April 2019, Mozambique was hit by Cyclone Idai leaving substantial damage to infrastructure and nearly two million people in need of humanitarian assistance. Malaria risk has been associated with living in a rural setting, vicinity to water, and household structure, all factors which are impacted by severe storms. This study quantified the association between damage to infrastructure (health care facilities and schools) following Cyclone Idai and malaria outcomes: malaria incidence, severe malaria, and administration of intermittent preventative treatment in pregnancy (IPTp) in Sofala Province, Mozambique.

Article Synopsis
- Land loss in estuarine areas has worsened recently due to decreased sediment transport from the Yangtze River, especially between 2009 and 2022.
- This study investigates how changes in erosion and deposition conditions at the Yangtze River Estuary impact the concentration of suspended sediment, aiming to inform better management strategies.
- Findings reveal that the estuary has shifted from deposition to net erosion for the first time since 1958, with significant erosion rates and variability in suspended sediment concentration linked to human activities and environmental factors.
